Update: Game developers across the industry continue to share footage and screenshots from their own early, in-progress builds and projects to show how normal the leaked GTA 6 footage really is and to shut down a hilariously wrong and now heavily-memed remark about graphics coming first in development.

Jeph Prez of Sea of Thieves developer Rare shared a video from a November 2014 build to highlight the "agile, iterative testing" that the game was seeing at the time. It's a blocky pastiche of the polished pirate adventure we know today, and this was after the build was upgraded from the "pill pirate" character models emblematic of the Unity engine's default assets.

EA community manager Kevin Johnson also shared (opens in new tab) Prez's clip with his own sentiments. "I wish the industry would be more proud to show that side of [development]," he said, calling the wave of build showcases one of the few good things to come "from the recent topic of leak culture and how destructive it is."

Sam Barlow, the lead on the newly released Immortality, chimed in with his own before-and-after, showing how the game looked for its first two years while the team at Half Mermaid "were focused on getting the AI shipped and combat gameplay balanced." (Check out our Immortality review to find out how this trippy, beautiful story comes together). This is one of the starkest examples yet, and it hammers home just how secondary graphics can be. It also sums up one of the key arguments behind this conversation: you can't, or at least shouldn't, spend time polishing a game that isn't built and balanced yet.

Breakout indie darling Cult of the Lamb got in on the conversation too, with developer Massive Monsters posting some familiar-looking but rough versions of the game.

Likewise, Brace Yourself Games, perhaps best known for Crypt of the Necrodancer and Zelda crossover Cadence of Hyrule, shared the amusing placeholders once used in Rift of the Necrodancer's yoga minigame.

Bungie senior game designer Josh Kulinski (opens in new tab) even dug up an old personal project to demonstrate that "games look really rough for a long time before they start looking great." Meanwhile, Knockout City developer Velan Studios shared a draft of one of the game's multiplayer maps, proudly reveling in all its untextured glory.

Animator Robert Morrison from Studio Bend also shared a clip of an untextured sequence from 2018's God of War, which still looks impressively fluid for how blobby everything is.

Similarly, co-game director Kurt Margenau of Naughty Dog reposted a blockmesh version of Uncharted 4's iconic street chase sequence, offering a helpful side-by-side look at how projects evolve graphically throughout development.

Solo Japanese developer Nama Takahashi also pounced on the trend to share a stark before-and-after of ElecHead, an electrified puzzle game previously announced at a May Nintendo Indie World showcase.

Original story follows

A Control developer has shared in-progress footage from the beginning of the game's development.

In response to a Twitter debate over the past weekend which, if we're being completely honest, is too silly to waste words on here, Control developer Paul Ehreth took to Twitter to show off what an actual game looks like early on. In the tweet below, we can see very early in-progress footage of protagonist Jessie Fayden running about, taking cover, and returning fire at enemy troops.

The footage also shows Jessie picking up objects from the surrounding environment, a staple of Control's action-packed combat, before hurling them at the enemy troops. As Ehreth rightly points out, this is the same game that would be go on to win numerous awards for excellence in graphics, not to mention overall Game of the Year awards from outlets and pundits.

Avoiding the Twitter debacle which brought this tweet about, we can instead pivot to the recent GTA 6 leaks. After over 90 videos of in-progress footage of Rockstar's sequel leaked online, some social media users were left somewhat surprised at the rough, in-progress state of the game as it continues through development.

Ehreth's tweet is aimed at educating social media users, showing them that yes, a stellar big-budget game really does look rough in the early goings of the overall development cycle. In fact, it's not just Ehreth that's published early footage with the aim of educating users - Naughty Dog director Kurt Margenau has always drawn attention to some very early in-progress footage of Uncharted 4, seen below.

As for the GTA 6 leaks however, Rockstar confirmed their legitimacy shortly after the leak took place over the past weekend. The developer wrote that it was "extremely disappointed," in the leaked footage, but elsewhere around the industry, Cyberpunk 2077 and The Last of Us devs have come together to voice support for Rockstar developers who have had their work leaked online.

Here's why you should ignore the GTA 6, because the final reveal from Rockstar will be worth the lengthy wait.

Silver Screen Collection Louise Fletcher as Nurse Ratched - Silver Screen Collection

Louise Fletcher, who has died aged 88, gained cinematic immortality through her portrayal of the terrifyingly cold and manipulative Nurse Ratched in Milos Formans 1975 adaptation of Ken Keseys novel One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, in which she was memorably opposed by Jack Nicholson as RP McMurphy, a small-time crook incarcerated in a mental hospital who attempts to lead a rebellion against her authority.

While the film proved an enormous success it became only the second film to make a clean sweep of the five most prestigious prizes at the 1976 Academy Awards, including that of Best Actress for Louise Fletcher it also proved the sole high point in a career which saw her talents sadly wasted by an industry that seemed to have no place for her.

Estelle Louise Fletcher was born on July 22 1934 in Birmingham, Alabama, the daughter of an Episcopalian minister and his wife, both of whom were deaf; Louise was taught to speak by an aunt who also encouraged her interest in acting. On graduating from the University of North Carolina, she travelled in the late 1950s to Los Angeles, where she took an office job while studying acting at night.

Due to her height (5ft 10in), she initially found herself cast primarily in Western television series such as Lawman, Maverick, Wagon Train and The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp, leavened on occasion by appearances in such popular shows as The Untouchables and Perry Mason.

On her marriage in 1959 to the agent Jerry Bick (whose clients included the crime writer, Jim Thompson) and the subsequent birth of their two sons, Louise Fletcher retired from acting following her one feature film role of this period, as an air force wife in the turgid Rock Hudson vehicle A Gathering of Eagles (1963).

Ten years later, Louise Fletcher returned to television work before being cast in Robert Altmans Thieves Like Us (1974), a remake of Nicholas Rays 1948 crime film, They Live by Night, produced by Bick following his collaboration with Altman the previous year on The Long Goodbye. Her supporting performance, as a tired, no-nonsense housewife in Depression-era Mississippi who betrays Keith Carradines bank robber to the law, made a strong impression, leading Altman to devise a character based on Louise Fletcher for his next film, Nashville (1975).

Nashville was in development, she recalled, and my parents came from Birmingham to visit the set. He [Altman] witnessed Jerry not being able to communicate with them, and I was sort of the go-between, the interpreter for them with everybody. He got this idea to write a character who has a deaf child and that was going to be my part.

But following a falling-out with United Artists, Altman took the picture elsewhere, jettisoning both Fletcher and Bick in the process, and handing the part to Lily Tomlin. He took my family identity, then to treat me in that way. I stopped speaking to him, because he hurt me so bad, Louise Fletcher said, although she would later make a cameo appearance as herself in the directors The Player (1992).

Following a secondary role in Russian Roulette (1975), a lame espionage thriller co-produced by Bick with Sir Lew Grades ITC and starring George Segal, she put herself in contention for the part for which she will always be remembered.

As Milos Forman later recounted, We were all convinced that we had to have somebody who is really [the] personification of evil. We offered the part to about four actresses who would fill this image. They all turned it down. Then one day I met Louise Fletcher [having seen her performance in Thieves Like Us]... I slowly started to realise that it will be much more powerful if its not this visible evil, that she is only an instrument of evil, she doesnt know that she is evil.

Interviewed on set, Louise Fletcher remarked of Nurse Ratched, I see her as a human being who shes not a medieval witch. I see her as a woman who believes totally in what shes doing. She believes that whats shes doing is absolutely right and best for all the patients.

Adapted from the 1962 novel by Kesey and co-produced by Michael Douglas, whose father Kirk had played McMurphy on stage in 1963, the film was shot at the Oregon State Hospital, with Forman encouraging his cast to improvise, a luxury denied to Louise Fletcher by the nature of her part: I was so jealous of all those actors being able to cavort and laugh and do all the crazy things they did, that one day it just got too much for me, and I just stood up and unbuttoned my dress and ripped it off and threw it down on the floor, and I thought Ill show them Im a real woman under here. I think that mustve been what I was thinking, you know Im not this monster!

Her success at the 1976 Academy Awards, during which she thanked her parents in sign language, proved remarkably short-lived. Her next film was Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977), directed by John Boorman and starring Richard Burton. The formers intention was to make an experimental metaphysical thriller on the nature of goodness, a notion decidedly at odds with Warner Brothers desire for more of the same crude shock tactics which had distinguished the 1974 original.

On casting Louise Fletcher as a psychiatrist, Boorman recalled that She had an air of authority. She was tall and regal. Burton said to her, Im a Welsh dwarf and its always my fate to be cast with tall leading ladies.

While the resultant film was an artistic and financial failure, it was at least a notorious failure, which is more than can be said for Louise Fletchers subsequent films. The Cheap Detective (1978) saw her impersonating Ingrid Bergman in a puerile Neil Simon parody of various Humphrey Bogart films, after which she provided solid support to Hal Holbrook in the underrated Natural Enemies (1979).

In 1980, however, her appearance in the title role of an obscure Belgian comedy led one commentator to refer to Mama Dracula as just the latest in a wide variety of oddball parts she has played since winning her 1975 Oscar.

Her fortunes fared no better in the 1980s, her small role in the Stephen King adaptation Firestarter (1984) being followed by a part as a cemetery director in Sergio Leones Once Upon a Time in America that same year which was cut from the American-release print (though subsequently restored in the extended version). Nonetheless, by this stage, and with, as she said, bills to pay, she continued to work busily in television, enjoying some success as Kai Wynn in the series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993-1999), while all too often being required to play pale imitations of her most celebrated character.

Louise Fletcher was divorced from Jerry Bick in 1978. She died at her home in the south of France, having previously survived two bouts of breast cancer. She is survived by her two sons.

Louise Fletcher, born July 22 1934, died September 23 2022

Louise Fletcher, actress who won an Oscar as the ruthless Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest obituary - msnNOW

The festival of Durga Puja narrates the victory of good over evil, i.e., Goddess Durga over the demon king Mahishasura. Before the final battlefield was open to both, there were several backstories with fascinating anecdotes. As we gear up to welcome one of the biggest Hindu festivals, it's time to refresh our memories about Mahishasura. We all have seen the demon king being worshipped alongside the goddess. Many of us might have pondered why he is getting treated with veneration. While searching for similar answers, I came across the chronicle narrating how Mahishasura's fasting cost the gods almost their lives.

In Hindu Puranas, Mahishasura or Mahishan is a demon. Goddess Shakti adopted the Durga form, among many others, to combat and slay him. But behind his such unconquerable might, lied a painstaking penance which included fasting for years. There are several narratives which tell us how fasting has been used as a means and tools to gain control over mind, body and soul and manifest superpowers as divine boons.

The Vamana Purana, Devi Bhagavatam, and Skanda Purana all tell the tale of Mahishasura's birth. The reason for the demon's moniker, Mahishasura, is that the monster had a head of buffalo, and Mahisha is the word for buffalo (male). Asura means demon. Often, he is referred to as the 'shape-shifting' demon. He was Rambha and demon princess Shyamala's son.

The genesis of power hunger

Mahishasura's ambition to rule all creation as the most powerful entity started in his childhood. He fostered animosity toward the Devas and desired to overthrow them. He often fantasised about becoming mightier than the gods. He tried vanquishing the gods but couldn't withstand their united strength.

Setting on a tough Tapasya with unyielding fasting

The demon king realised the way to make his wish into a reality he has to appease Lord Brahma, the granter of boons. Thus, he set on a formidable Tapasya or penance. What started with meditation slowly grew into strict fasting. There came the point when he stopped eating and drinking anything. And he kept praying to appease Brahma.

He started a protracted penance by standing under a tree on one foot. After many years, Mahishasura developed incredible power that swept all over the realms. It was so strong that Lord Brahma could feel it, and he was moved by his ardent devotion. He arrived where the Asura was fasting.

Fasting triggered devastation

Mahishasura opened his eyes, sensing the Lord's presence. Invoking blessing, Brahma gestured for the Asura to ask anything he desired. "I want to become immortal," Mahishasura retorted. Brahma disagreed, reminding him that everything is born to die, and thus it is impossible. The sly Mahishasuratweaked his immortality boon and requested Lord Brahma that he should be immune to death by man, demons, gods or any other beings. No woman could ever kill him; he was sure of it. Lord Brahma remarked: "So it will be."

Thanking Lord Brahma for this boon and armed with such enormous abilities at his disposal, the buffalo-headed demon unleashed wraths on heaven and earth. He became invincible, and no god, beast or man could kill or stop him. He started slaying gods one by one.

Performing penance by abstaining from food and drinks can generate immense energy for the practitioner. The power of fasting is clearly mentioned in our Puranas, mythologies, and ancient scriptures. It pleases the ultimate divine or almighty and grants boons by them.

That is how Mahisasura got the boon of immortality, and the rest is history.

Immortality is the newest game from Sam Barlow - the creator of Her Story and Telling Lies - and it launched last week to critical acclaim on Xbox Game Pass, Steam and GOG. A found footage horror game, Immortality sees players searching through hundreds of clips across three fictitious films to figure out what happened to missing actress Marissa Marcel (played by Manon Gage). Immortality launched on August 30 and is one of the best reviewed games of the year, boasting a 94 percent Metacritic rating for the Xbox Series X and S version.

Besides being one of the best games of the year so far, Immortality is arguably one of the best found footage horrors ever made - ranking alongside greats such as The Blair Witch Project, REC, Lake Mungo, Noroi: The Curse and lockdown horror Host.

If you've never played any of Barlow's games before, you may be looking for some hints and tips to help you get started.

For those in that camp, Express.co.uk is here to help - below you'll find hints and tips to help you on your way to unlocking all 202 clips and figure out what happened to Marissa Marcel.

Immortality is part of the new wave of FMV (full motion video) games, with the originals a huge part of 90s and early CD-based consoles - especially SEGA's Mega CD.

Like games of that era including Night Trap, with Immortality you will spend plenty of your time just watching live action footage.

Players will have to rummage through an array of clips from three fictitious films that Marcel starred in.

These films are Ambrosio, Minsky and Two of Everything.

By interacting with what you see on screen you will move from one clip to another.

If you're playing on Xbox, you can pause the clip at any time with the Y button and move into photo mode.

There are a huge amount of things you can click on. As part of your strategy we'd advise you interact with the following things...

Main actors in each clip

Supporting actors in each clip

Crew members

Any item in the background that you can click on such as ashtrays, fruits, phones, plants, etc

With the latter there is a huge amount of background items you can click on so we haven't listed everything that you can interact with.

When watching a clip for the first time you may wish to focus on actors and supporting cast.

Then, when you get to a point where you're struggling to progress you can look at past clips and select crew members as well as unique items in those scenes.

Another thing you can do in Immortality is rewind to the start or beginning of a clip and click on the clapperboard.

Repeatedly clicking on clapperboards in different scenes may help you uncover clips you haven't seen yet.

And finally, there is one important thing you need to know about Immortality to help you figure out what happened to Marissa Marcel.

To explain this we'll have to go into spoiler territory, and part of the fun of Immortality is being genuinely surprised by what the mechanics in the game offers so if you don't want to ruin this then don't continue reading on any further...

**WARNING - SPOILER TO FOLLOW**

**SPOILER WARNING**

Still here and certain you want to continue?

Okay.

If you're really struggling with Immortality there is one very important thing to bear in mind.

Listen carefully to every clip you watch and when you hear some ominous music start playing rewind the clip.

You may need to wait for this music to play for awhile before rewinding, but when you try this out for the first time you'll know if you've trigger what's meant to happen or not.

Bear in mind also the speed in which you rewind can trigger something or not - so if you're rewinding with the analogue stick and nothing is happening try rewinding with the D-Pad.

For those of you looking for specific clips to take a closer look at, VG247 and GameRant highlighted some specific clips you'll want to rewind in their guides.

You can find details on these clips below...

IMMORTALITY - CLIPS TO REWIND

Ambrosia

12C 7/8/1968

18C 13/9/1968

Minsky

33B 10/8/1970

10A 13/8/1970

17A 30/8/1970

24A 25/8/1970

32A 26/8/1970

16/2/1972

Two of Everything

82 25/3/1999

26B 18/5/1999

37A 10/6/1999

It's important to note that with the 17A clip for Minsky you won't get the typical sound cue.

Watch the clip to the end, and then rewind the tape back using the frame rewind (i.e D-Pad) command.

Watch this scene play out until it zooms in on a man's eye, then rewind again using the move by frame tool.

Once the scene changes then move the tape forward (going frame by frame) until the controller starts vibrating.

Then, rewind again going frame-by-frame and watch this final scene play out.

This clip in Minsky will not only help you get the What Happened to Amy Archer achievement but also the What Happened to Carl Goodman achievement.

Also, for achievement hunters it's worth pointing out that Half Mermaid has confirmed that there are issues with one achievement unlocking at the moment and a fix is in the works.

This is for the Another Reality acheievement, while we ran into issues with the Minsky Assembly achievement unlocking.

So if you encounter any issues with achievements hopefully the forthcoming patch will address this.

Immortality GUIDE: How to get all clips and find out what happened to Marissa Marcel - Express

Steven Tyler ripped off his gold sequin overcoat, fireworks blasting behind him, and screamed, Im back in the saddle again.

Beside Tyler, in black hat, black jacket and just as many sparkles, Joe Perry ripped into a tough and sweet riff he wrote in 1976.

Tyler is 74. Perry turns 72 on Sept. 10.

Apparently, nothing can kill them or their band not age, drugs, infighting, prolonged hiatuses, pandemics, falling down on stage, falling off the stage, or the death of the record industry. Following inconceivable comeback after inconceivable comeback, Aerosmith have achieved immortality. Or at least thats how it felt in a packed Fenway Park on Thursday. Packed as in over 38,700 people. According to Live Nation, it was the most concert tickets ever sold for a show in the venue.

Because of those endless inconceivable comebacks, the Aerosmith catalog runs from the 70s sleaze of Mama Kin to the 80s sheen of Love in an Elevator to the 90s syrup of I Dont Want to Miss a Thing. The band indulged in every era without blinking (thankfully leaning into the sleaze).

From Back in the Saddle, the Bad Boys of Boston (and they had the energy of kids Thursday), waded into the raunch with impish glee: Same Old Song and Dance into Rag Doll into Mama Kin into fabulous garage rock sludge of Shangri-Las cover Remember (Walking in the Sand). Ive seen righteously dirty and downright ugly Aerosmith sets, this one was righteously filthy.

Tylers body has recovered from recent surgery, his voice better than it has been in years, maybe decades. Perry occasionally plays too loose, at the ballpark, he made every riff taught, bright and bold and laid down a half dozen solos in the sweet spot between economical and unhinged.

Longtime secret weapons bassist Tom Hamilton and second guitarist Brad Whitford gave backbone to every pop turn, rock shuffle and power ballad Perry and Whitfords guitar duel on Elevator showed off 50 years of chemistry. (The bands longtime drum technician, the didnt-miss-a-beat John Douglas, filled in for Joey Kramer who is on a temporary leave of absence.)

The shiny stuff, which tends to come from the late 80s and early 90s, had the band trying to match the fury of the opening 30 minutes. Cryin deserved to be a radio and MTV staple but the Fenway version couldnt compete with the rough stuff; I Dont Want to Miss a Thing is better than you remember and worse than anything else in the set.

But it seemed the five couldnt wait to get back to the 70s rocks, gems and big ones. Kudos to Aerosmith for spotlighting minor masterpiece Seasons of Wither. Congratulations for once again pulling off the epic stunt of having Tyler belt out Dream On behind a white grand piano atop the Green Monster. Cheers for slamming Sweet Emotion and Walk This Way back to back in a closing reminder that Aerosmiths immortality is based as much on its classic catalog as its stage show.

Now that we know Aerosmith will be around forever, can Fenway book them for 2023 and 2024 and

Thanks, Aerosmith, for picking fellow hometown heroes Extreme as the support act. In the 80s, the band was tighter than its peers. Now Extreme may be the only hard rock act of that era that hasnt lost a step. Singer Gary Cherone has the pipes, moves, physique, charisma and bravado of a 20-year-old. Guitarist Nuno Bettencourt is the only shredder who can play in the pocket and write memorable riffs. Bonus points for a set that was equal parts tender ballads, funk and neo-classical speed metal. (Please headline Boston soon!)

Undefeated racehorse Flightline made history at the 2022 TVG Pacific Classic Stakes, and America's Best Racing was there to capture the magic.

We went behind the scenes with Erin Birkenhauer, COO of West Point Thoroughbreds and part-owner of Flightline, as she watched the racehorse compete in the $1 million Pacific Classic.

Having raced four times in his career, Flightline entered the race in Del Mar, Calif., undefeated, but this Longines Breeders' Cup Classic hopeful was racing at a distance he had never competed at before. The Pacific Classic is a 1 -mile race with two turns a distance and added difficulty he'd yet to face.

But that meant little to an ownership group comprised of Hronis Racing, Summer Wind Farm, West Point Thoroughbreds, Siena Farm, and Woodford Racing as they confidently cheered on this special horse as he sought a fifth win in as many races.

As he triumphantly crossed the finish line, easily surpassing a field of serious contenders, Flightline raced into the history books and achieved horse racing immortality.

Whether you are a long-time horse racing fan or new to the sport, America's Best Racing is your source for great written content and streaming video thats helpful to both beginners and hardcore fans of the horse life. Get started today by visiting our website.

For spring, Michelle Ochs discovered inspiration in Emily Dickinsons dried flowers from her famed herbarium. Ochs found creative propulsion in considering the mortality of beauty, as well as the immortality of the preserved petalsbeauty that doesnt die, but just shifts. Thats a heady starter, but it was counterbalanced by an element of just a little bit of 90s-era fun, as she put it.

If the quaint nostalgia of papered flowers and the shellacked and high-armed obviousness of the 90 might feel at odds, Ochs did a good job of making them work together. Take, for example, chainmail tank-tops juxtaposed with a knit sweater, crewneck-collared but open and wavy, like a peony, around the hem. Or: A power-shouldered white dress (very Kris Jenner in her [Robert] Kardashian-era) offset with orchid-mimicking chrome hardware attachments. There was a springtime focus on denim, as well, spliced into separates and sometimes embellished with crystals in the shape of wildflowers. A black dress sectionwere not too morbid, I swear!featured the skin-baring cutouts for which Ochs is known, paneled with that chainmail, or even pieced together with more denim, this time dyed noir.

Theres a knowing smartness in Ochs approachshes true to her aesthetic yet theres something distinct and cool as to how she fuses ideas (which may partially explain why clever celebs like Iliza Vie Shlesinger and Aubrey Plaza are fans). The product outcome can sometimes be esoteric or eccentric, but it largely worksand to broaden her catchment, spring saw the introduction of yet more separates, which started to ramp up last season. Theyre essentials but not run of the mill, said Ochs.

Washington:Immortality has been a controversial topic from the very beginning. Many such great men are mentioned in ancient religious texts, who had attained immortality. But, this is not possible at all in todays time. Today neither the air nor the water is pure. There are a large number of people on earth who do not even have the bread for two times. In the midst of all this, scientists have claimed that they have succeeded in such a research, on the basis of which humans can be made immortal in the future. If everything goes right, then the aging of humans can be stopped, that is, they will always remain young, that is, they will not have to face old age. It is being considered as a big step towards the mystery of immortal life.The ability to prevent aging in a species of jellyfishThis research is being carried out by a team from the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Oviedo University in Spain. This team is studying one of the immortal creatures on Earth. The name of this creature is a jellyfish, which is known as Turritopsis dohrnii. It has the ability to revert from adult life to the larval stage. However, jellyfish can die out due to disease or ingestion of other organisms.

Jellyfish can live as long as they wantThe study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is called Comparative Genomics of Mortal and Immortal Cnidarians Unveils Novel Keys Behind Rejuvenation. The team from Mara Pascual, Victor Quesada and Oviedo University performed genome sequencing of Turritopsis doubleni. It is the only known species of jellyfish that is, in a way, immortal. This organism has the ability to reverse aging and actually live as long as it wants.

Similarity of Jellyfishs DNN to HumansResearchers report that Turritopsis dohrnii is the only metazoan that can regrow itself. Meaning this creature can rejuvenate itself again and again. This ability points to the biological immortality of this organism and challenges our understanding of aging. He said that we have explored replication, DNA repair, telomere maintenance, redox environment, stem cell population and intercellular communication. They have even managed to find parts of DNA similar to those of humans. So decades later, Ikna could be used to reverse aging in humans, or help cure many diseases that we currently cannot.

There's a phrase that gets thrown around the halls of Dodger Stadium: once a Dodger, always a Dodger. On a Wednesday night in Chicago, that saying rang true.

White Sox outfielder A.J. Pollock was manning left field against the Houston Astros. Yuli Gurriel, who infamously mocked then Dodgers starter Yu Darvish with an abhorrent celebration in the 2017 World Series, hit a routine fly ball to Pollock. The White Sox outfielder caught the ball, and then muttered an expletive laden three word sentence under his breath:

"F--- you b----"

As always, the cameras were rolling and baseball Twitter caught the moment.

Although A.J. wasn't a member of the 2017 Dodgers team that was cheated out of a championship by Houston, the Dodgers fraternity is clearly a strong one.

Scroll to Continue

Neither was Joe Kelly, who notoriously got into with Carlos Correa while he was still an Astro when the Dodgers and Astros met in the regular season in 2020.

Like many MLB players, even those who weren't on the 2017 Dodgers, Kelly and Pollock have zero respect for members of the 2017 sign-stealing Astros team.

Pollock was traded just days before the start of the regular season in exchange for reliever Criag Kimbrel. In his first season, A.J. is slashing .240/.290/.368 in 98 games.

Kelly, who signed with the White Sox this past winter, has a 5.61 ERA in 29 appearances and has struggled with his control (5.6 BB/9).

They might not be in Dodger blue any more, but as the saying goes, once a Dodger, always a Dodger.
